I Was Wrong – It Wasn’t That Song!

By Greg

I’m very keen for this website to be an accurate representation, or at least sample, of Trenna’s life.

So if I become aware of an error, I will try to correct it.

I discovered one recently when I was working on a soon to be published story about Trenna and my earliest days together.

I was was telling the story of how I had dedicated a song to her when I was the guest presenter on a community radio station. I said the song I had dedicated to her was “Baby Let Me Bang Your Box“, by Daddy Cool. It is a song about playing the piano at a party.

As part of the fact checking process I go through I replayed the actual tape of that night back in January 1988. Yes, Trenna kept a recording of it!

And I was stunned to find I didn’t play that song at any point. Perhaps I had thought about it and discarded the idea (which was sensible – I was really interested in making it work with Trenna).

I did do a dedication, but it was after playing the Daddy Cool song “Cadillacin’ “.

I had also made this mistake when I compiled the “Soundtrack to Trenna’s Life“!

So, I am innocent. I wasn’t as crude as I thought I was.

For those interested, here is the (correct) song.
